Letter to the Editor: Yes for pool

This morning I placed my husband’s and my ballot in the collection box at the Wasco County Court House.

Our votes are in the affirmative and in support of the building of a new municipal swimming pool for our community and surrounding areas. I believe this is the time for our citizens to step up and pay for a new and improved pool.

The existing pool is old, worn out, and at high risk of never opening again.

The Dalles will be very diminished without a pool, negatively affecting not only our youth and families, but seniors and visitors, too. Please join me by marking “yes” on your ballot and getting it to the Court House by Tuesday, Nov. 5. Thank you.
